I have been working to create a UIAlertView in Swift, but for some reason I can't get the statement right because I'm getting this error:

Could not find an overload for 'init' that accepts the supplied arguments

Here is how I have it written:

let button2Alert: UIAlertView = UIAlertView(title: "Title", message: "message",
                     delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "OK", otherButtonTitles: nil)

Then to call it I'm using:

button2Alert.show()

As of right now it is crashing and I just can't seem to get the syntax right.

UIAlertView and UIActionSheet has been replaced by UIAlertController in iOS 8, have you looked at this?Popeye
Make sure the class that self belongs to adopts the protocol UIAlertViewDelegate (the recommended way to do this, in Swift, is with an extension).Nicolas Miari
@Adam: I have reverted your retagging. The swift3 tag is for "questions directly related to changes in version 3 of Apple's Swift programming language." And I don't think that "If the answers make it clear that the problem in the question was caused by something other than what the asker thought, retagging is very helpful." from meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/252079/… applies here.Martin R
@MartinR I don't know how questions can be updated to show that there are answers that apply to a current version of Swift; there is a lot of old, useless stuff here and [swift] finds it all along with the useful. I don't feel strongly about this retag being reverted but I wish there was a definitive way to solve this problem. (I wish answers had tags.)Adam Eberbach

From the UIAlertView class:

// UIAlertView is deprecated. Use UIAlertController with a preferredStyle of UIAlertControllerStyleAlert instead

On iOS 8, you can do this:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Message", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Click", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Now UIAlertController is a single class for creating and interacting with what we knew as UIAlertViews and UIActionSheets on iOS 8.

Edit: To handle actions:

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: { action in
    switch action.style{
    case .Default:
        print("default")
        
    case .Cancel:
        print("cancel")
        
    case .Destructive:
        print("destructive")
    }
}}))

Edit for Swift 3:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Message", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Click", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler: nil))
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Edit for Swift 4.x:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Message", preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
    switch action.style{
        case .default:
        print("default")
        
        case .cancel:
        print("cancel")
        
        case .destructive:
        print("destructive")
        
    }
}))
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

One Button

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBAction func showAlertButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {

        // create the alert
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: "My Title", message: "This is my message.", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)

        // add an action (button)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: nil))

        // show the alert
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Two Buttons

Two Button Alert Screenshot

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBAction func showAlertButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {

        // create the alert
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: "UIAlertController", message: "Would you like to continue learning how to use iOS alerts?", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)

        // add the actions (buttons)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Continue", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: nil))
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel, handler: nil))

        // show the alert
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Three Buttons

enter image description here

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBAction func showAlertButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {

        // create the alert
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Notice", message: "Lauching this missile will destroy the entire universe. Is this what you intended to do?", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)

        // add the actions (buttons)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Remind Me Tomorrow", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: nil))
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel, handler: nil))
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Launch the Missile", style: UIAlertAction.Style.destructive, handler: nil))

        // show the alert
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Handling Button Taps

The handler was nil in the above examples. You can replace nil with a closure to do something when the user taps a button. For example:

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Launch the Missile", style: UIAlertAction.Style.destructive, handler: { action in

    // do something like...
    self.launchMissile()

}))

Notes

  • Multiple buttons do not necessarily need to use different UIAlertAction.Style types. They could all be .default.
  • For more than three buttons consider using an Action Sheet. The setup is very similar. Here is an example.

You can create a UIAlert using the standard constructor, but the 'legacy' one seems to not work:

let alert = UIAlertView()
alert.title = "Alert"
alert.message = "Here's a message"
alert.addButtonWithTitle("Understood")
alert.show()

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10

Method 1 :

SIMPLE ALERT

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Your title", message: "Your message", preferredStyle: .alert)
    
     let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
     })
     alert.addAction(ok)
     let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { action in
     })
     alert.addAction(cancel)
     DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
        self.present(alert, animated: true)
})

Method 2 :

ALERT WITH SHARED CLASS

If you want Shared class style(Write once use every where)

import UIKit
class SharedClass: NSObject {//This is shared class
static let sharedInstance = SharedClass()

    //Show alert
    func alert(view: UIViewController, title: String, message: String) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let defaultAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        alert.addAction(defaultAction)
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            view.present(alert, animated: true)
        })
    }

    private override init() {
    }
}

Now call alert like this in every ware

SharedClass.sharedInstance.alert(view: self, title: "Your title here", message: "Your message here")

Method 3 :

PRESENT ALERT TOP OF ALL WINDOWS

If you want to present alert on top of all views, use this code

func alertWindow(title: String, message: String) {
    DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
        let alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
        alertWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()
        alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1
    
        let alert2 = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let defaultAction2 = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        alert2.addAction(defaultAction2)
    
        alertWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
    
        alertWindow.rootViewController?.present(alert2, animated: true, completion: nil)
    })
}

Function calling

SharedClass.sharedInstance.alertWindow(title:"This your title", message:"This is your message")

Method 4 :

Alert with Extension

extension  UIViewController {

    func showAlert(withTitle title: String, withMessage message:String) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { action in
        })
        alert.addAction(ok)
        alert.addAction(cancel)
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            self.present(alert, animated: true)
        })
    }
}

Now call like this

//Call showAlert function in your class
@IBAction func onClickAlert(_ sender: UIButton) {
    showAlert(withTitle:"Your Title Here", withMessage: "YourCustomMessageHere")
}

Method 5 :

ALERT WITH TEXTFIELDS

If you want to add textfields to alert.

//Global variables
var name:String?
var login:String?

//Call this function like this:  alertWithTF() 
//Add textfields to alert 
func alertWithTF() {
    
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Login", message: "Enter username&password", preferredStyle: .alert)
    // Login button
    let loginAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Login", style: .default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
        // Get TextFields text
        let usernameTxt = alert.textFields![0]
        let passwordTxt = alert.textFields![1]
        //Asign textfileds text to our global varibles
        self.name = usernameTxt.text
        self.login = passwordTxt.text
        
        print("USERNAME: \(self.name!)\nPASSWORD: \(self.login!)")
    })
    
    // Cancel button
    let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .destructive, handler: { (action) -> Void in })
    
    //1 textField for username
    alert.addTextField { (textField: UITextField) in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter username"
        //If required mention keyboard type, delegates, text sixe and font etc...
        //EX:
        textField.keyboardType = .default
    }
    
    //2nd textField for password
    alert.addTextField { (textField: UITextField) in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter password"
        textField.isSecureTextEntry = true
    }
    
    // Add actions
    alert.addAction(loginAction)
    alert.addAction(cancel)
    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    
}

Method 6:

Alert in SharedClass with Extension

//This is your shared class
import UIKit

 class SharedClass: NSObject {

 static let sharedInstance = SharedClass()

 //Here write your code....

 private override init() {
 }
}

//Alert function in shared class
extension UIViewController {
    func showAlert(title: String, msg: String) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: msg, preferredStyle: .alert)
            alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
            self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
    }
}

Now call directly like this

self.showAlert(title: "Your title here...", msg: "Your message here...")

Method 7:

Alert with out shared class with Extension in separate class for alert.

Create one new Swift class, and import UIKit. Copy and paste below code.

//This is your Swift new class file
import UIKit
import Foundation

extension UIAlertController {
    class func alert(title:String, msg:String, target: UIViewController) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: msg, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default) {
        (result: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
        })
        target.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Now call alert function like this in all your classes (Single line).

UIAlertController.alert(title:"Title", msg:"Message", target: self)

How is it....

Click of View

@IBAction func testClick(sender: UIButton) {

  var uiAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "Message", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
  self.presentViewController(uiAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

  uiAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: { action in
   println("Click of default button")
  }))

  uiAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { action in
   println("Click of cancel button")
  }))

}

Done with two buttons OK & Cancel

If you're targeting iOS 7 and 8, you need something like this to make sure you're using the right method for each version, because UIAlertView is deprecated in iOS 8, but UIAlertController is not available in iOS 7:

func alert(title: String, message: String) {
    if let getModernAlert: AnyClass = NSClassFromString("UIAlertController") { // iOS 8
        let myAlert: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)
        myAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil))
        self.presentViewController(myAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    } else { // iOS 7
        let alert: UIAlertView = UIAlertView()
        alert.delegate = self

        alert.title = title
        alert.message = message
        alert.addButtonWithTitle("OK")

        alert.show()
    }
}

With the protocol extensions of Swift 2, you can make a protocol that provides a default implementation to your view controllers:

ShowsAlert.swift

import UIKit

protocol ShowsAlert {}

extension ShowsAlert where Self: UIViewController {
    func showAlert(title: String = "Error", message: String) {
        let alertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)
        alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: nil))
        presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

ViewController.swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, ShowsAlert {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        showAlert(message: "Hey there, I am an error message!")
    }
}

Show UIAlertView in swift language :-

Protocol UIAlertViewDelegate

let alert = UIAlertView(title: "alertView", message: "This is alertView", delegate:self, cancelButtonTitle:"Cancel", otherButtonTitles: "Done", "Delete")
alert.show()

Show UIAlertViewController in swift language :-

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: "Enter data in Text fields", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Simply do not provide otherButtonTitles in the constructor.

let alertView = UIAlertView(title: "Oops!", message: "Something
happened...", delegate: nil, cancelButtonTitle: "OK")

alertView.show()

But I do agree with Oscar, this class is deprecated in iOS 8, so there won't be no use of UIAlertView if you're doing an iOS 8 only app. Otherwise the code above will work.

I found this one,

var alertView = UIAlertView();
alertView.addButtonWithTitle("Ok");
alertView.title = "title";
alertView.message = "message";
alertView.show();

not good though, but it works :)

Update:

but I have found on header file as:

extension UIAlertView {
    convenience init(title: String, message: String, delegate: UIAlertViewDelegate?, cancelButtonTitle: String?, otherButtonTitles firstButtonTitle: String, _ moreButtonTitles: String...)
}

somebody may can explain this.

For SWIFT4, I think, extending UIViewController and creating a reusable confirmation control is the most elegant way.

You can extend the UIViewController as below:

extension UIViewController {

func AskConfirmation (title:String, message:String, completion:@escaping (_ result:Bool) -> Void) {
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { action in
        completion(true)
    }))

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { action in
        completion(false)
    }))
  }
}

Then you can use it anytime:

 AskConfirmation(title: "YOUR MESSAGE TITLE", message: "YOUR MESSAGE") { (result) in
        if result { //User has clicked on Ok

        } else { //User has clicked on Cancel

        }
    }

For iOS 13 Xcode 11+ Swift 5.X

UIAlertController can now provide Alerts as well as Action Sheets

Alerts

// First instantiate the UIAlertController

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Title",
                              message: "Message ?",
                              preferredStyle: .alert)


 // Add action buttons to it and attach handler functions if you want to 

 alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
 alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Just Do It!", style: .destructive, handler: nil))
 alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Maybe", style: .default, handler: nil))

// Show the alert by presenting it

self.present(alert, animated: true)

Note that it's is a fundamental nature for all action buttons to dismiss the alert view when tapped. The style parameter is just for deciding the color of the text (and some default order in which the buttons should appear which ofc can be changed)

A sample handler function could be

func handler(_ action: UIAlertAction) { 

   if action.title == 'Title' {
       // do stuff
   }

}

As a side note, I would say instead of making 3 different handlers you can just make 1 and trace back to the element which provoked it in the manner shown above We can also check alert.style but that again we can have multiple .default styled actions , I wouldn't recommend that

Action Sheets

The explanation is similar because the main difference here is that an alert interrupts the user whereas an action sheet slides from the bottom in an iPhone and appears as a popover in an iPad

The Purpose of action sheets is to guide the users in deciding his actions based on their current state. So you gotta treat action sheets like crossroads !. There is generally no message and the title is rendered as caption sized text

let action = UIAlertController(title: "What do you want to do with the message",
                               message: nil,
                               preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

action.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel)) 

for act in ["Save", "Post", "Discard"] {  
          action.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: act, style: .default, handler: nil))
}

self.present(action, animated: true)

The above code is going to work for an iPhone but will crash at runtime for an iPad because UIPopoverPresentationController is going to take charge of the alert and it won't be referencing anything at that time. So to avoid that you will have to provide the following chunk of code its mandatory

if let pop = action.popoverPresentationController {

     let v = sender as! UIView 
     pop.sourceView = v 
     pop.sourceRect = v.bounds
 }

Also in case of iPad tapping on anywhere outside the popover will dismiss it and the completion handler of .cancel action button will be called.

Hope that helps :) That being said, comment down below if you have any doubts

I have another trick. Suppose you have 5 classes where a logout alert to be applied. Try with swift class extension.

File- New- Swift class- Name it.

Add the following:

public extension UIViewController
{

    func makeLogOutAlert()
    {
        var refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Log Out", message: "Are You Sure to Log Out ? ", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

        refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Confirm", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
            self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
        }))

        refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
            refreshAlert .dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
        }))

        presentViewController(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Implement using : self.makeLogOutAlert(). Hope it helps.

I have made a singleton class to make this convenient to use from anywhere in your app: https://github.com/Swinny1989/Swift-Popups

You can then create a popup with multiple buttons like this:

Popups.SharedInstance.ShowAlert(self, title: "Title goes here", message: "Messages goes here", buttons: ["button one" , "button two"]) { (buttonPressed) -> Void in
    if buttonPressed == "button one" { 
      //Code here
    } else if buttonPressed == "button two" {
        // Code here
    }
}

or popups with a single button like this:

Popups.SharedInstance.ShowPopup("Title goes here", message: "Message goes here.")

Swift 3

The following is a simple example of how to create a simple alert with one button with Swift 3.

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Title",
                              message: "Message",
                              preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default))
present(alert, animated: true)

In the above example the handle callback of the action has been omitted because the default behaviour of an alert view with one button is to disappear when the button is clicked.

Here is how to create another action, which could be added to the alert with "alert.addAction(action)". The different styles are .default, .destructive and .cancel.

let action = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default) { action in
    // Handle when button is clicked    
}

I got the following UIAlertView initialization code to compile without errors (I thing the last, varyadic part is tricky perhaps). But I had to make sure the class of self (which I am passing as the delegate) was adopting the UIAlertViewDelegate protocol for the compile errors to go away:

let alertView = UIAlertView(
                  title: "My Title",
                  message: "My Message",
                  delegate: self,
                  cancelButtonTitle: "Cancel",
                  otherButtonTitles: "OK"
                )

By the way, this is the error I was getting (as of Xcode 6.4):

Cannot find an initializer for type 'UIAlertView' that accepts an argument list of type '(title: String, message: String, delegate: MyViewController, cancelButtonTitle: String, otherButtonTitles: String)'

As others mentioned, you should migrate to UIAlertController if you can target iOS 8.x+. To support iOS 7, use the code above (iOS 6 is not supported by Swift).

You can use this simple extension with n number of buttons and associated actions swift4 and above

extension UIViewController {
    func popupAlert(title: String?, message: String?, actionTitles:[String?], actions:[((UIAlertAction) -> Void)?]) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        for (index, title) in actionTitles.enumerated() {
            let action = UIAlertAction(title: title, style: .default, handler: actions[index])
            alert.addAction(action)
        }
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

you can use it like ,

self.popupAlert(title: "Message", message: "your message", actionTitles: ["first","second","third"], actions:[
            {action1 in
                //action for first btn click
            },
            {action2 in
                //action for second btn click
            },
            {action3 in
                //action for third btn click
            }, nil])

The reason it doesn't work because some value you passed to the function isn't correct. swift doesn't like Objective-C, you can put nil to arguments which are class type without any restriction(might be). Argument otherButtonTitles is defined as non-optional which its type do not have (?)at its end. so you must pass a concrete value to it.

    alertView.addButtonWithTitle("OK")

Use this code to display an alertview

  let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Hello  Coders", message: "your alert message", preferredStyle: .Alert)
        let defaultAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Close Alert", style: .Default, handler: nil)
        alertController.addAction(defaultAction)

        presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

SWIFT 4 : Simply create a extension to UIViewController as follows:

extension  UIViewController {        
    func showSuccessAlert(withTitle title: String, andMessage message:String) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message,
                                  preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK".localized, style:
        UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: nil))
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Now in your ViewController, directly call above function as if they are provided by UIViewController.

    yourViewController.showSuccessAlert(withTitle: 
      "YourTitle", andMessage: "YourCustomTitle")

        let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Saved Successfully", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: nil))

Here is a funny example in Swift:

private func presentRandomJoke() {
  if let randomJoke: String = jokesController.randomJoke() {
    let alertController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title:nil, message:randomJoke, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
    alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title:"Done", style:UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler:nil))
    presentViewController(alertController, animated:true, completion:nil)
  }
}

Here is a pretty simple function of AlertView in Swift :

class func globalAlertYesNo(msg: String) {
        let alertView = UNAlertView(title: "Title", message: msg)

        alertView.messageAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
        alertView.buttonAlignment  = UNButtonAlignment.Horizontal

        alertView.addButton("Yes", action: {

            print("Yes action")

        })

        alertView.addButton("No", action: {

            print("No action")

        })

        alertView.show()

    }

You have to pass message as a String where you use this function.

The Old Way: UIAlertView

let alertView = UIAlertView(title: "Default Style", message: "A standard alert.", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "Cancel", otherButtonTitles: "OK")
alertView.alertViewStyle = .Default
alertView.show()

// MARK: UIAlertViewDelegate

 func alertView(alertView: UIAlertView, clickedButtonAtIndex buttonIndex: Int) {
 switch buttonIndex {

    // ...
   }
  }

The New Way: UIAlertController

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Default Style", message: "A standard alert.", preferredStyle: .Alert)

let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel) { (action) in
// ...
 }
 alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

 let OKAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default) { (action) in
// ...
 }
 alertController.addAction(OKAction)
 self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true) {
 // ...
}

on IOS 9, you can do this

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Click", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler: nil))
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
